Interesting to watch this 20 yrs later with a re-skin. Kojima wrote Eva to be pretty edgy and a little unrealistic. She is already outed as a manipulative siren from the start with relationships with 2 characters. Once she meets snake Eva immediately exposes her breasts 2 minutes after meeting lol and trying to seduce him on and off throughout their 2 hrs + of conversation in the game. She is the ultimate male fantasy that never happens in real life unless the man is a celebrity/male model/ 'very important'. But all of this is her trick and she openly discusses the use of her beauty to seduce important targets. Bizarrely she continues to do so with Snake even though she openly admits it from the start. Snake only caves into her beauty twice in the game, once after she demonstrates that she actually cares for him and would risk her life for him and the other at the very end of the game, which it is obvious by then that she really likes him. It is also obvious that Snake is really attracted to her from the start and is constantly fighting himself by talking about other subjects and stopping her seduction process. When she gets close to him in a romantic way he doesn't move back which the natural response to someone we wouldn't want to make out with. But by the end, Eva's mission comes first, and by MGS4 we know the truth- that she really did have massive lust for him at the end and even carried his babies...

they all get toy dogs.. or cats. I believe that Madison Headrick & Nadine Leopold have pugs iirc.

Most of the top 500 companies are corrupt in one way or another, and heavily involved with the government and buying out Senators. McDonald's is a top company and only produces garbage.

I just gave you the example of the 'national champion" TSMC which is eating Intel's lunch. I have never seen an arbitrary definition of whether a government owns 10% of the shares makes it a communist organization lol.

It's pretty much required for global dominance, especially against countries in East Asia that do like China etc. Private capital will not incubate complex R & D for 20 years and run at a loss etc. if you look at the state of American 'high tech'/'industry' today (and also publically traded corporate america as whole) it has been screwed up for about 4 decades due to obsession with short-term profits and quarterly profits, and corruption by the stock market which is not the real economy. Extreme De-industrialization happened fundamentally because the US was not cost-competitive. In a way humanity as a whole has been severely damaged- "High tech" merely means information tech or AI while other technologies that benefit human life/flourish have been neglected because it was 'not profitable' especially in the short term.

Wrong again: In certain industries, especially in high tech/complex manufacturing they cannot survive/naturally developed without government involvement. Private Equity funds/Oligarch angel investor funds can only invest so much, often taking considerable financial risk. Overall Tesla/Boeing and other 'strategic' companies are heavily state-funded/state infiltrated. By the definition of ideological purists they are socialist enterprises. TBH government contracts are hardly market competitive (basically legalized corruption if you think about it). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC or Taiwan Semiconductor)[5][6] is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company. It is one of the world's most valuable semiconductor companies,[7] the world's largest dedicated independent ("pure-play") semiconductor foundry,[8] and Taiwan's largest company,[9][10] with headquarters and main operations located in the Hsinchu Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Although the government of Taiwan is the largest individual shareholder,[11] the majority of TSMC is owned by foreign investors.

Also complex high technology and manufacturing or anything that requires a lot of basic scientific/engineering research is very difficult for private-sector finance to incubate naturally (free market fundamentalist/fraud political ideology has it wrong) because finance seeks to maximize profits. It would end up speculating in crypto or high profit industries/scams instead. Also American info-tech's origins is in the cold war and the defense industry- public funding. A replacement for a company like Intel is hard to incubate naturally.

Both cases would be 'socialism' under the definition of nonsensical American political propaganda. So basically not correct. 'Normal industrial policy' is essentially making the company hybrid public/private which is what both administrations did. This is what happened to the national champions in the East Asian countries. Also Tesla is one of the biggest welfare queens if not the biggest in the US. Something like a Soviet State owned enterprise is different, for instance it is not publicly traded on the global financial markets.
